Costed, held, traceable
Cost the batch properly, hold what fails, recall one lot instead of a warehouse.
Manufacturers and processors use AWRA for bills of materials and assembly orders, landed-cost receiving, enforced quality holds, batch and serial traceability, three-way matched procurement, and valued cycle counts across raw stores and finished goods.
Operations software for manufacturers
The problem
A manufacturer needs to know what a batch really cost, what failed inspection and where every lot went. A spreadsheet can hold the numbers but not the chain between them.
Unit cost without freight
Duty and freight arrive weeks after the raw material and never reach the cost.
Failed stock that still gets issued
A lot fails inspection, and production uses it anyway because nothing stopped it.
A recall of the whole warehouse
Nobody can say which customers received one lot, so everything is pulled.
How AWRA solves it
What Manufacturing & Processing teams get.
Track stock risk, delayed inbound orders and blocked tasks in nine Control Tower lanes across the plant.
Scope a recall to the batches that actually moved, using the inbound and outbound trail attached to each one.
Maintenance and quality issues raised as tickets with priorities, SLA timers and a resolution signature on sign-off.
Roster line shifts against the production plan and carry the worked hours into payroll with the overtime already calculated.
Cost goods at landed value — freight, duty and clearing allocated across the receipt rather than left sitting in an expense account.
Keep quarantined, damaged or inspection-pending stock out of every issue and sale, because the exclusion lives in the allocation query rather than in a policy document.
Build finished goods from a bill of materials with an assembly order that takes the components out and puts the finished item in, all or nothing, at the actual cost of what it consumed.
Raw store pressure
Consumption trend and reorder exposure across raw material stores.
Receiving and matching
Order, receipt and invoice matched before the cost is trusted.
Variance with a reason
Every correction carries a reason code, an approver, and a value.
Typical workflow
The routines AWRA runs for Manufacturing & Processing.
Landed-cost receiving
- 1 Receive against the purchase order
- 2 Capture quantity and quality variances
- 3 Allocate freight, duty and clearing by value or quantity
- 4 Carry the landed cost into weighted average
Quality hold and release
- 1 Flag the lot inspection-pending on receipt
- 2 Let issuing and selling exclude it automatically
- 3 Record the result, quantity and person
- 4 Release, downgrade or dispose with a reason
Batch recall drill
- 1 Open the batch movement trail
- 2 List every inbound and outbound document
- 3 Locate where the remainder still sits
- 4 Set recall status and notify who received it

Example organisation
A food processor importing raw materials
An illustrative profile, not a named customer
Where they are today
Imported inputs, a raw-materials store, a finished-goods warehouse, and batch records kept in a separate quality spreadsheet.
Where they would start
They would start with receiving at landed cost and quality holds on inbound lots, then bring batch traceability through to dispatch.
What changes after implementation
Before and after, in the routines you already run.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Unit cost missing freight and duty | Landed cost allocated and carried into the average |
| Failed lots issued by mistake | Held lots excluded from issue and sale automatically |
| Recall the whole warehouse | One lot traced to every document that touched it |
| Counts in units only | Count variances valued at cost |
How the rollout goes
1
Settle item categories, units of measure per pack size, warehouses and bins, and the cost allocation basis before the first receipt is entered.
2
Introduce quality holds on one high-risk category first — the operational argument is easier to win after a hold has stopped a real issue.
3
Bills of materials and assembly orders run today; yield variance, standard costing, labour and overhead absorption and production scheduling would be a commissioned build. Read the Kenya manufacturing page before scoping: it sets out what runs now and what we would build with you.
What you can measure afterwards
Landed cost variance
Quality hold ageing
Batch trace completeness
Three-way match exceptions
Count variance value

Questions
What Manufacturing & Processing buyers ask.
Does AWRA calculate landed cost?
Yes. Freight, duty and clearing are allocated by value or quantity and carried into weighted average cost, and the landed-cost document stays open for charges invoiced after receipt.
Can we stop failed stock being used?
Yes. A lot on quality hold is excluded from issuing and selling until it is released, downgraded or disposed of with a recorded reason.
Can we trace a batch?
The batch movement trail lists every inbound and outbound document for a lot and shows where the remainder still sits.
Can AWRA plan production runs?
Production planning and bills of materials are extensions we can build for your workspace. Out of the box, AWRA covers the purchasing, stock, quality and traceability around production.
